Holiday Party
This dress is very pretty & photographs well. However, it's super thin, see-through, & pretty short. Similar to other posts you can get away with flesh color undergarments but depending on where it's worn may need more layering. I was at a company party so needed shorts & a nude cami. The top is very big so does need a small pin. It's all about the angels - have to work this so it doesn't swallow you in pics or make you look top heavy. Overall, pretty but you'll spend the night adjusting.

Beautiful color & dress
Rented this dress for a "Burning Man" styled wedding and the color/material was a hit! The biggest con is similar to what other posts have commented on. This dress needs cover up for smaller breasted women. I hated to have to wear a bralette but needed one to hide/cover what little peoples I have. For women that are more blessed - there shouldn't be an issue. Additionally, I had to wear 6" heels and the tail did drag a bit. I am petite in nature but cannot wear petite clothes. I'm a size 0 in regular sizes. Otherwise, this dress is stunning in person.

Pretty Funky
I loved the fit of this dress but didn't wear it because my husband didn't like it. This is dress that could be worn for a cool themed party or to dance in. I may try this again for a different occasion. The color is lovely.

Christmas Party Review
This dress was perfect for my company party & when I was not feeling particularly fit. It rubs big and is forgiving. It's the perfect "eat what you want or I'm bloated days" :). I did have to use a ton of safety pins to shorten the straps and make the bottom half more flattering. This is one piece and doesn't lay flat in the skirt area. Can look unfitted so I pinned the bottom half in bunches so it looked flat. Overall, I would give this a 3.5 stars. It does photograph well but you have to work the angels so you don't look like a shimmery potato sack.

Not for small chests
This dress runs very small and super tight. It does not look well on women with small chests and scoops low. It probably works best on size C cups. It is also incredibly short. It's a lovely dress in theory but not for everyone.

Throw back to the 80s!
This dress was worn for an 80s holiday party. It was extremely tight and rode up when walking. Its sexy and flaterring but dont plan on eating anything for 24 hours if you want to squeeze into it. Overall, its a showstopper but it shows everything.

Versatile Dress
This dress is beautiful and was worn for a Christmas party Pros: unique, form fitting, & can be worn to many different types of functions Cons: super tight/fitted/short Overall, add a cool necklace to glam up but don't eat anything prior to your event. This dress is super tight & unforgiving. I am a size 0 and went on a 24 hour juice diet so I could fit. This is really a bodycon dress and the slit isn't as wide on smaller frames (I'm 5'2"). However, I did love this dress and would wear again.

This dress is cute but way too short. Had to wear black tight shorts underneath. Also, the material is like canvas - difficult to iron and wrinkles easy.

Beautiful, classy, but very long
This dress is a very dark blue and incredibly flattering. However, it shows everything so you have to watch what you eat. I'm a size zero and have a flat belly but still had to wear spanx while hardly eating all day. The dress is very long and I had to pin it up a few inches though I had on 6" heels. You'll need to steam the top before wearing because its wrinkled. (My measurements are: 5'2", 105lbs, short torso and long inseam 31", waste to floor 39"). Finally, for those trying to figure out if it will fit, I cannot wear petite sizes though small in frame.

Sparkly but runs big
This is a very pretty dress that was sent as a replacement for another damaged dress. It is very pretty but runs a little large for an XS frame. Also, you will need a bra that runs very low in the back to wear this dress. It does feel somewhat matronly and may be suited for more formal events (not cocktail or evening parties). However, the color is very beautiful.

Sparkly Dress Photographs Well!
First, I ordered an XS and it was damaged so I was unable to wear it. RTR was amazing and sent me two replacements when the XS was no longer available. I ended up wearing the small which was too big. Pros: sparkly, fun, young, and photographs well Cons: wears boxy and a tad to big, standing at the wrong angle may add pounds Though we captured a lot of cute pics, I wouldn't rent this dress again. It's ill-fitted for XS and S through the waist if you are small like me.

Graduation Party!
I wore this for my doctoral graduation party. It was a hit and I received tons of compliments. (5'2", 105 lbs, jean size 25, bra 32b, and dress size 0). Pros: Flattering and unique. Great color and looks great from many angles. Cons: The middle runs a little big and is not slim fitted. Chest area needs extra padding if your small like me. Standing at the wrong angle gives a very boxy shape. You have to be careful with how the body is contoured when taking photos. Overall, this dress is beautiful and is appropriate for after-five and formal occasions. I just wished it were more fitting through the waist areas.

Doctoral Graduation Event
I wore this outfit to graduation to earn my doctorate and is classy enough for such events. I am petite but cannot fit in petite sizes (5'2", 105lbs, size 0, and jeans size 25). I wear normal sizes because petite sizes fit abnormal. Pros: Flirty, flattering, and beautiful details. The slip underneath fits true to size. Con: The dress is in two parts and the overlay of flowers is beautiful. However, I have a short torso - so it runs a little big. The black piping falls lower than I care for, but it's still very pretty. This is a very nice dress that stands out in the crowd. It photographs well. Don't wear black shoes because it detracts from the dress. Try a nude!

Beautiful dress and lots of compliments.
The dress is more burgundy or wine colored than red. This is my first RTW purchase and I am thrilled! Pros: photographs well, true to size, flattering neck/off shoulders, any bra will fit/hide well, and is a show-stopper Cons: fits snug and is not forgiving, but can be flattering with the appropriate undergarments. Noteworthy: long dress (must wear at least 6 inch heels if you are short - I am 5'3"), and must wear full push up bra if your small chested, and had to do a lot of yoga prior to this event to fit into this dress.
